Abstract: A hollow chew piece carrier adapted for receiving various sizes of hollow chew pieces, dog bones and the like. The carrier includes a shaft having opposite ends attached to a pair of end pieces. The shaft has a length greater than the length of the chew piece for providing a chewing space. The chewing space allows the dog to engage an end of the chew piece. The diameter of the shaft is less than an interior diameter of the hollow chew piece to allow the chew piece to slide back and forth. This difference in diameters forms a treat space. The diameter of the first and second end pieces is greater than an exterior diameter or width of the chew piece. This difference in the diameter of the end pieces and the exterior diameter of the chew piece provides for a non-contact zone to prevent the exterior of the chew piece from engaging and scratching a surface.

Abstract: A dog bone carrier adapted for receiving and holding various sizes of hollow dog bones, that allows for chewing satisfaction for the animal, while protecting household surfaces for the owner. The carrier includes an elongated shaft having opposite ends attached to first and second end piece balls. The shaft has a length greater than the length of the dog bone for providing a chewing space. A chewing space allows the dog to engage the side of one end of the bone with his or her mouth and also allows space for additional chews. The diameter of the shaft is less than an interior diameter of the hollow bone to allow the dog bone to slide back and forth on the shaft. This difference in diameters forms a treat space. The diameter of the first and second balls is greater than an exterior diameter or width of the dog bone.
